Teaching data visualization with R entirely in Quarto (Claus Wilke, UT Austin) | posit::conf(2025)

Описание: Teaching data visualization with R entirely in Quarto

💬 Speaker(s): Claus Wilke

📝 Abstract:

When teaching a programming course, we may want to employ several different modes of content delivery. First, slides. (And it should be easy to integrate code and code output into them.) Second, practical exercises, where students can try out programming concepts in a guided manner. Third, an in-class live programming environment, to ad-lib during lectures. Fourth, a framework for graded assignments. Fifth, a class website. All of these components can be created with Quarto and webR. I will explain how I used these technologies for my data visualization class at UT Austin, covering how the different components work, what issues I encountered, and what I think best practices are if you want to create a similar course yourself.
